I frequent http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/ although it isn't specific to RRC's it is about the most active forum as far as Rovers go and does have a section for RRC's. It isn't the most active site which is kinda surprising considering these cars are all over the world but it is helpful.2004 BMW e60 525i - Daily

Already finding good info. Nice guys.
On to my D2....
Once I get an Ultragauge for it....I need to get some springs. Thinking some HDs....but the truck usually isn't going to be loaded down....however, it will be used for towing cars....and offroading.
Also, I've got a Disco 1 frame....I read a while back about using D1 rear springs up front and OME springs in the rear with a spacer to level it out....but that was for RR apps. I may try that for the D2. Use what I've got. Saw a blip about using rear D1 spring perch on D2 for like .5"...so don't see why the spring won't fit.
I'll do some TF or mebbe Bilstein +2" shocks.
Also want to get a set of steel wheels for my knobby tires. This thing will haul the kiddo around, so I'll keep the knobbys for the trails.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

I think I'll pop it apart and compare when I bleed the brakes at work. D1 shit is on a bare frame on blocks, so no great loss taking it all apart.
I liked the med duty OME on the Classic with Bilsteins. This D2 seems to hit bumps a little harder than that truck.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

Well it happened...
'99 with 177k miles. It has an exhaust leak and the O2 is throwing a check engine light (from said exhaust leak, probably). So that's easy enough to fix. Also it has a pretty big dead spot in the steering, idk what that is so I'll have to get under it and see what's up. But so far I'm pretty happy with it!-Alex

For the steering, check the front steering tie rod, rear track rod and steering coupler shaft in the engine bay for play. I went through two steering track rods and three rear track rods in my 120k miles on my DII. Usually when the steering would pick up a bit of slop on the highway it was the rear track rod that was getting some play in one of its tie rod ends.
Worn front hubs also contribute to vague steering on a DII as well and a really worn rear hub will make it wander quite a bit. An easy way to check hubs for signs of failure is to pull the brake rotor and check for grease on the inside rotor hat. If you are getting grease splatter, then the hub is on its way out.
Enjoy that DII! They are so easy to wrench on too.
